In which I talk about food again: more Brownies of Win and a cucumber-avocado cold soup

I've been experimenting a bit in the kitchen again. The results have been delicious.

1. Earlier this week, I wanted brownies again. My Brownies of Win, to be precise, which are the Moosewood Fudge Brownies (recipe here) with the addition of cinnamon and dried cherries. I was out of dried cherries, though, so I decided to substitute orange zest

Oh god, those brownies sound like something that would cause my husband to orgasm on the spot. He ADORES chocolate and orange. This may have to be a "birthday cake." ;)

Bwahahaha! I'm helping! Hope you both enjoy.

Tasty foods. Yay!
On the subject of cars: if you are buying from a private party, take the vehicle (or have them take the vehicle and you) to a mechanic and have the mechanic do a thorough going-over. That way you know if there's anything wrong or about-to-be wrong.
If you are buying from a dealership of any kind, if you go at the end of the month and/or close to the end of the year you can usually talk them down more as they are getting desperate to move stock. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it in mind. Hey, are you going to be at Beltane?

(Also, is that Zen in your icon? Your stories about your boys make me laugh. Goats are so silly.)
